The term
ζάβα (and Latin
zaba), probably a loan from an Altaic language, occurs in historical and legislative sources from the early sixth century CE, and is especially frequent in late antique and Byzantine military treatises. For sources and discussion see Haldon (1975) 19-21, 37 n. 126; Kolias (1980); (1988) 37-43, 65-7.

Zonaras, though the headword there is (by mistake?)
zabeion, otherwise unattested.
